#EntertainmentNews: Thornton Premieres the Documentary Tribute to Willie


Billy Thornton

Billy Bob Thornton premiered a documentary, titled "The King of Luck" on Saturday in Austin as a part of Southwest Film Festival. This documentary was a tribute to Willie Nelson, as he spoke at the red carpet, saying that "We just wanted to do an accurate and loving tribute to Willie."
Thornton began working on this project when he was actually touring with Nelson as even the title of the documentary also relates back to Nelson's Austin-area ranch, nicknamed to Luck, Texas. Though, sadly Nelson himself was not available to attend the premiere of his own documentary due his travelling.

However, plenty other high profile celebrities did attend the premiere and spoke highly of the premiere, including the prime time show host Jimmy Kimmel and the U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett.
